Chapter 879 - The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (21)

Chapter 879: The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (21)
Red light flashed in the alley, making the alley seem even more eerie. After a while, the alley went silent again.
A groan echoed in the night sky.
The Yi Xie sword fell to the ground as Fang Wan leaned against the wall and glared at Ming Shu viciously.
Kill me if you dare. If you don’t kill me today, you will regret it in the future.

Ming Shu tidied her clothes. The bells on her wrist chimed softly.
She raised her head and smiled when she heard what Fang Wan said.
Why would I want to do that? It is not easy to get a second chance to live.


…

Fang Wan didn’t know how to react.
She felt a chill running throughout her entire body. Her mind was blank.
The Lianjing sword had inched toward the Yi Xie sword. The Yi Xie sword lay on the ground and vibrated in fear.
Red light seeped out of the Yi Xie sword and flowed into the Lianjing sword.
Weapons were able to suck energy from other weapons.
But…

According to what Chang Sheng said, the Lianjing sword was a powerful weapon. It didn’t seem suitable for a powerful weapon to do such things, right?
Pa!

The Lianjing sword dropped itself on the ground again.
It looked like it had eaten its fill.
The light on the Yi Xie sword dimmed. Fang Wan could feel the Yi Xie sword getting weaker, but she had no energy to bother with it now. All her focus was on the statement that Ming Shu made just now.
Ming Shu prepared to go back, but the Lianjing sword suddenly floated up and flew toward Fang Wan with lightning speed.
Fang Wan felt danger and waved her hand to make the Yi Xie sword block the attack.
The energy within the Yi Xie sword was mostly sucked out already so it was not the Lianjing sword’s match at all. It fell heavily onto the ground.
The Lianjing sword was about to pierce into Fang Wan’s body.
However, at the crucial moment, someone grabbed the Lianjing sword. The tip of the sword stopped in front of Fang Wan’s chest.
Fang Wan held her breath. Her back was drenched with sweat.
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes and looked at the Lianjing sword. The Lianjing sword didn’t struggle and let Ming Shu grab it.
She helped Fang Wan up and picked up the Yi Xie sword. Then, she brought Fang Wan back.
She couldn’t leave her here. What if she got killed?
She must protect her snacks coupon.
Ming Shu brought Fang Wan back to the little courtyard. The disciples from the Wuji Sword Sect got a shock and surrounded her. They didn’t hide their anger.
July, what did you do to Senior Sister Fang Wan?

Ming Shu smiled brightly.
I did… what I wanted to do.

Ming Shu passed the person and the sword to them.
Don’t ever ask me for the Yi Xie sword again. It cost money to make a fake one too.

The disciple that was holding the sword was speechless.
Isn’t there another Yi Xie sword in her hand?!

Why does that look more like the real one?!

They looked at the unconscious Fang Wan and then glanced at the dim Yi Xie sword…
What the hell is happening?!

Ciu Lui’er had given up on shouting. She lay on the floor pitifully.
However, when Ming Shu walked past, she saw Ciu Lui’er raising her head.
Her eyes were blood red and filled with hatred and insanity.
She opened her dry lips.
There was no sound but Ming Shu understood what she wanted to say from the shape of her lips.

I want to go out.


I want to go out.


She is saying that she wants to go out.

Ming Shu suddenly turned and shouted at the disciples guarding the array.
Ciu Lui’er:
…

The disciples were curious as to why no one chased her away. Isn’t she a demonic cultivator? Is it really fine for her to stay here?

Ciu Lui’er lowered her head. Her long hair covered her face. It made her look like a ghost from afar.
Ming Shu walked to her chair under the curious, vigilant gazes of the disciples.
She stabbed the Lianjing sword into the ground.
Don’t tell me that you killed the sect leader.

The Lianjing sword vibrated.
Its actions were filled with contempt.
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes at it.
If not, how can you change into the Duan Xu sword? Where did the real Duan Xu sword go?

The Lianjing sword stopped vibrating.
It turned around and made to run away.
Ming Shu pressed it into the soil again.
You can’t escape all the time.

The Lianjing sword:
…

It should play dead.
…
A colorful riceball rolled in and bumped into Ming Shu’s leg. It grabbed the hemline of her dress.
Trash-picker, what alliance did you form again?

You always have fun with other people behind my back. I am so loyal to you. Is this how you repay me?

Say something!

Who is this!

Little Beastie threw a tantrum the moment it came back.

Didn’t you go and find your own food too?
Ming Shu kicked it away. Little Beastie rolled into the soil and bumped into the Lianjing sword.
Little Beastie fumed.
Things appeared in its paws and it threw them at Ming Shu.
You just bully me all the time. How dare you bully me. Look at how nice other people’s trash-pickers are. Why are you like this?

I am so cute. Why are you treating me this way?

You even found such a… ugly thing when I was not around.

Last time, you at least found someone with legs. This thing doesn’t even have a leg!

Little Beastie finished throwing the things in its paws and left in a fit of pique again.
I am so angry.

I will not come back anymore!

Something is not right…

If I leave, the ugly thing will have the trash-picker all to itself.

Little Beastie rolled back.
I can’t let this ugly thing hog my trash-picker.

No matter how bad my trash-picker is, she is my trash-picker.

Little Beastie grabbed Ming Shu’s clothes and climbed its way up. It found a spot for itself and curled up.
Ming Shu was bending down and picking up the things that Little Beastie threw at her. There were some fruits as well as some weird grass and flowers.
The quantity of the items was small and they didn’t look nice, either. She knew these should be the leftovers that Little Beastie found.
…
On the other side of the courtyard, the elder of the Wuji Sword Sect, the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect, and the uncle master from Chiyang Sect stayed behind and discussed the demon king.
The elder from the Wuji Sword Sect said,
Ciu Lui’er is innocent.

The uncle master from Chiyang Sect appeared humble.
Elders, do you both think that we should save Ciu Lui’er? However, how can we separate the demon king from her without hurting her?

The sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect said honestly,
Ciu Lui’er is a normal human. If the demon king remains in her body until she gives birth to it, she will die too.

The elder of the Wuji Sword Sect said,
I have sent messages to my sect as well as the six clans. Once they arrive, we can have another discussion.

The demon king was an important issue. The three sects couldn’t make the decision themselves.
The other two agreed.
The sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect suddenly raised his head.
What a strong reiki.

The other two elders felt it too. They looked at the other end of the courtyard.
They could only see an outline under the shelter. It was too dark.
The Lianjing sword that was maintaining its looks as the Yi Xie sword was exceptionally striking.
Just as they were getting puzzled, the young lord of the Qian Yuan Sect ran over and raised a blue fruit in front of them.
Father, Sister gave this to me.


The blue buddha fruit?

The elder from the Wuji Sword Sect was surprised.
The sect leader from the Qian Yuan Sect was shocked too. He took the fruit from his son.
It is really the blue buddha fruit. Isn’t it extinct?

The blue buddha fruit was an important ingredient in the making of the Ziyang Dan. The Ziyang Dan was consumed when a person wanted to advance to the spirit infant stage. It could lower the risk of the advancement by one-third.
However, the blue buddha fruit was extinct so there was no more Ziyang Dan.
Cultivators had to depend on themselves when advancing to the spirit infant stage. Hence, there was not a lot of spirit infant cultivators in the country.

Father, can I eat it? Sister said that I can eat it…
the young lord asked happily.
The three people looked at each other.
They couldn’t snatch something that belonged to a child, right?
